Judge John M. Rice Tells Row He Was Cured of Rheumatism. CrlppVrl for —Six Taari with Salatlon tm It* Worst I’i-l m. He *C.>pin«nl to Die, but W.-w in a Mw-lou* Manner. (From Cd'inilcn, Ky . Part.} The Hen. John M. Rice, Loulea, Lawrence County, Kentucky, has for the past iwo years retired from active life as Criminal and Circuit Judge of the iiixtcenih\ Judicial District of Kentiibky. die has for many years served his native county anJ State in the Lcgisature at Frankfort and at Washing* ; toil, anti, until his"retirement was a noted figure in political and judicial circles. The Judge is well known !i rough out the State and possesses the b.-st qualities which gj to make a Kentucky gentleman honored wher3ver he is known. -—— About six years ago the bodily troubles which finally caused his retirement at a time when his mental faculties were in tho zenith of their stveugC'i, began .their encroachment upon nis natarally strong constitution. A few days ago a Kentucky Post reporter calc-dr-ttoen Judge Rice, who in tho following words related the history cf the causes that led to his retireis jpstrabouCsix yearisinefc I had an attack of rheumati -m, slightct firsv.but soon developing into sei—itic rhouinatism, which began first . with aeiTte sheeting prdns iit thediips,. .gradually extending downward to my feet. “My condition becimo so bad that I event lally lost all power of my legs, tind then the liver, kidneys, and bladder, and, iu. fact, my whoiesystem, became deranged. 1 tried the treatment M many physicians, but receiving no lasting, benefit from them, I had recourse to patent remedies, trying ono kind itf:er another until I believed there ware none I had not sampled. “Tn attended by my son John, I‘ wont to Hot Springs, Ark. I was not much benefited by some months’ stay there when I returned home. My liver was actually dead, and a dull persistrack aiTthe time. In 1890 I was re-ap-poihtod Circuit Judge, but it was im-j>.ssib-e for me to give attention to my duties. In 1891, I went to tho Silurian Spring*. Waukesha, Wis. I stayed thero ioblo •.true, but without improve-mo-ytr “ Again 1 home, this time fooling n< hopes of recovery. Tne muscles of nly limbs were now reduced by atrophjf to more strings. Sciatic ,wains tortured mo terribly, but it was tire, diioxriered condition of my liver that was, I folt. gradually weaving my life- away. Doctors gave me up, all kinds of remedies had been tried with-..uLiu-jii nnd tharo waainothing more for mo to do but resign myself to I'ate. * “1 lingered on in this condition sustained almost entirely by stimulants until April, 1893. Ono day John saw an account of Dr. Wi’liams’ Pink Pills A for Palp People in the Kentucky Post. This wasAomething new, and as one more drug after so many others could not do so much harm, John prevailed upon me to try the Pink Pills. It was, I think, in the first week in May the pills arrived. I remember I was not expected to live for more than three or lour days at tho time. Tho effect of the pills, however, was marvelous and I c >uld soon eat heartily, a thing I had not don?, for years. Tne liver began almost instantaneously to performirs functions, and has done so ever since. Without doubt tho pills saved my life, and while I do not crave notoriety I cannot refuse to testify to their worth. ” Tho reporter calloi upon M-. Hughes, tho Louisa druggist, who informed him that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have been very popular 1 since" Ju ige Kiee used them with such bone'lt. He mentionel several who have found relief in thoir use. An analysis of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People shows that they contain, in a condensed form, ail the elements necessary to give n?w life and richness to the blood and restore s-hattere l nerves.
